A damaged pottery pot of wine has been unearthed in the Western Dynasty tomb group, according to Yantai Museum Archaeology Department.

The pottery pot, which weighs nearly 2 kilograms, has been sealed up.

Under the Han Dynasty, drinking wine was common; therefore, wine has already been unearthed many times in other tombs of the Han Dynasty.

But most of the wines unearthed were turbid. It is rare to find a pottery pot containing clear wine and that is over 2000 years old.
